"Mellonta Tauta" by Edgar Allan Poe (My Narration)

I'm back from a most productive and enjoyable experience in DC, and I'll be catching up shortly.

In the meantime, a quick note: as I've been compiling a list of unabridged audio versions of the texts assigned in my upcoming "Science Fiction, Part 1" seminar for my students, I discovered that there's not a convenient and free reading of Edgar Allan

Nice!

I have returned to my Octopus Books complete edition of Poe again and again.

I was wondering if you have read The Weird, that excellent 1100+ page anthology that came out this year. I am on about page 950.

[eldritchhobbit]

Yay! Thanks.

I've read wonderful reviews of The Weird, and it's on my "to read" list. Are you enjoying it so far?

[ext_1253632]

I've finished The Weird now. Amazing. Absolutely one of the most essential books of the year for my money.

Apropos of nothing, my daughter is a budding editor and has been doing a lot of things on Youtube. I thought you might get a kick out of this brief Doctor Who/Sherlock thing:

Fantastic! I definitely will get it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Also, I laughed out loud over your daughter's video. Such a CLEVER mashup! Very well done indeed. Two thumbs up. Thanks for sharing!

Ooops, I'm sorry! You can't download the MP3 file at all? I've also put it up here for download, as well. I hope this link works for you. I think you'll need to download it first before you try to open and play it with whatever program you prefer. Please let me know if this does/doesn't work for you. Thanks!
